Make sure the following are on your class path:

• commons-fileupload-X.X.X.jar
• commons-io-X.X.X.jar
• commons-logging-X.X.X.jar
• commons-logging-api.X.X.jar
• freemarker-X.X.X.jar
• ognl-X.X.X.jar
• struts2-core-X.X.X.X.jar
• xwork-core-X.X.X.jar
• javassist-3.7.ga.jar (new for Struts versions 2.2.1 and higher)
• commons-lang3-x.x

Edit: Have you followed http://struts.apache.org/release/2.3.x/docs/how-to-create-a-struts-2-web-application.html to set up your project? Why are you using struts 2.1.X.X and not 2.2.x.x?

Try:

        
            action
            org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter
        
        
            action
            /*
